The ones who entered this year’s Valentine’s Day file turned out to be Andy Lau and Zheng Xiuwen!

"Dragon and Phoenix Fight"

This film, which was released in 2004 and starred by Andy Lau and Zheng Xiuwen, has a rating of 6.7 on Douban, which is not only far lower than a number of classic Hong Kong films that have been rereleased before ("Eastern Heretic: The Ultimate Edition" 8.7, "A Ghost Girl" 8.6, "Sweet Honey" 8.8, "Journey to the West: The Great Sage Married" 9.2, "The Grandmaster of the Generation" 7.8), even in the works of director Johnnie To, it is not a masterpiece.

 

A list of some reruns of Douban movies in recent years


Therefore, as soon as the replay news was announced, some people said that the filmmakers were trying to make money.

 

Is it money? We give the choice to the audience. If the audience supports the show and the film company makes money, it means that the business vision is good; if the box office is not good, it loses the publicity fee for the replay, which is also the film company’s own money.


However, we found that in recent years, only one domestic movie, "Journey to the West: The Great Sage’s Marriage", has grossed over 100 million yuan.

So what kind of movie is "Dragon and Phoenix Fight"?

 

That has to start with Galaxy Images, the production company headed by Mr. To.

 

Galaxy Image

As is known to all, Galaxy Image is most respected by fans for its many stylized works, such as "The Birth of a Word", "Two Can Only Live One", "Dark Flower", and "Gunfire" in the late 1990s.

The fate of shooting this kind of gray, violent and fatalistic work is usually not to be popular. Therefore, Galaxy Imaging once struggled to operate.

 

In order to survive, Mr. To and Mr. Wei also led their colleagues to make commercially successful films, earning money to make stylized works. Among these hit films were the romantic films "Lonely Man and Widow" and "Slimming Men and Women" starring Andy Lau and Samuel Cheng.

Released in 2000, "A Man and a Woman" is about office romance, full of fun and a sense of the times. In the Hong Kong market at that time, it won 35.21 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office.


2001 released "slimming men and women", handsome men and beautiful women into fat boys and girls, is the biggest point of the movie, the plot is easy and funny, loved by urban audiences, the box office 40.32 million Hong Kong dollars.

 

The current hot sale of "Ex 3: Goodbye Ex" is to capture the psychology of lovelorn syndrome and provide relief channels for those who are unhappy on the emotional road. The "Lonely Men and Widows" and "Slimming Men and Women" of that year are a tender and delicate depiction of the emotional life of urban men and women, and presented in a light comedy way, which played a role in soothing the soul, and achieved a great harvest at the box office.

The 2004 release of this "Dragon and Phoenix", in the genre of comedy and love, the story of stealing a beautiful enemy, and the combination of "Johnnie To + Andy Lau + Cheng Xiuwen", won the Hong Kong market box office that year 15.30 million Hong Kong dollars.

"Dragon and Phoenix" has also been released in the mainland, and the box office is not very good. The reason is that the film girl believes that it is caused by the contrast between the story before and after the film. Most of the first half of the movie, the hero and heroine of the two thieves fight wits, which makes people think it is a dazzling theft movie, but in the end it ends with love as an excuse, and it is anticlimactic.

 

So is this "Dragon and Phoenix Fight" worth watching? Yingmei invited a few senior Hong Kong film fans who have seen this film to score and make short comments for your reference.

 

Zhao Zhu (screenwriter) 75 points


The peak plays of Du Qifeng and Wei Jiahui, the best "thief partner" of Andy Lau and Zheng Xiuwen. The concept of love in life and death, after the package is flipped layer by layer by the thief couple’s wits and courage, has actually dispelled some of the tragic colors, so there are still many audiences who will express their puzzlement and dissatisfaction with Zheng Xiuwen’s happy smile at the end. But compared with the current environment of domestic films, Wei, Du, Liu, and Zheng are all at their peak. It is recommended to watch.

 

Nine Lives (Film and Television Practitioner) 65 points

 

The plot is too ordinary, and the Galaxy Imaging movie works are at a lower middle level, right? But Andy Lau and Zheng Xiuwen, a classic Hong Kong movie CP, are still worth revisiting on the big screen, and the soundtrack is good.

 

Kitty (Film New Media Editor) 70 points


To Qifeng + Andy Lau + Cheng Xiuwen, there is a beautiful atmosphere of the golden age of Hong Kong movies. Especially the elements such as Nokia mobile phones and jumping beads, it is full of nostalgia. For some reason, I always feel that the character and plot in Andy Lau’s film are very similar to "Dark War". Although I can guess the ending halfway through, I can’t help but keep watching with a smile on the corner of my mouth. This is probably the charm of Hong Kong classic romances. And the ending is very touching.

 

Cui Ding (editor of the film website) 70 points


The film that Du Qifeng and Wei Jiahui cooperate in is full of all kinds of wit and humor. The old couple walks in the rivers and lakes, obviously in love, but they are going to separate. It is a modern love story, but the core is very retro and legendary.

 

Wang Jiachuan (Editor-in-Chief of Film Media) 65 points


It can be seen as the last installment of Andy Lau’s CP trilogy. Although there are also small sentiments, small pleasures, and small contradictions, it ends with a big tragedy. To Qifeng is not filming the confusion of love, but the supremacy of love.

 

The re-release date of "Dragon and Phoenix Fight" is February 10, that is, this Saturday, referring to Valentine’s Day on February 14. When Andy Lau and Zheng Xiuwen return to the classic screen CP, they bring people not only the emotion of the fleeting of Shaohua, but also the beauty of the frozen time frame.


So, would you go to the cinema for them?


The delivery guy comes and goes in the wind and rain, and a contract makes him feel insecure

  Takeaway has long been integrated into people’s lives, but all kinds of illegal riding by takeaway brothers have also been criticized. Retrograde, running red lights, speeding and other behaviors have brought about continuous accidents. Recently, Meituan, an outsourcing company in Gaocheng District, Shijiazhuang City, re-signed the contract for dozens of takeaway brothers. In the eyes of most riders, this contract has many unreasonable points, and the riders have come forward to analyze the problems existing in the industry: some regulations make them lack safety protection, and some situations are helpless…

  Signing a new contract, most delivery riders are not satisfied

  On September 25, the company asked us to sign a new contract, but many of our riders thought that this contract was unreasonable and did not pay attention to the protection of the riders. But if we don’t sign the contract, we will be fired. Many riders have no choice but to sign the contract, but they are very dissatisfied and hope that the reporter will pay attention… "

  During the National Day holiday, this newspaper’s 24-hour news hotline received a news tip. Through the phone, the reporter communicated with the lead person, Han Bing. He was a rider. During the period when the unit asked for a contract, he was recuperating due to an injury at work. As a result, on October 1, the rider, who had been working for more than a year, was directly cancelled by the company without knowing it.

  What kind of new contract is it that causes the dissatisfaction of the delivery brothers? On October 8, the reporter came to the People’s Square of Gaocheng District as scheduled. When he heard that the reporter was coming, nearly 20 local Meituan delivery riders gathered at the scene. "We all want to reflect our views on the contract. Under such a contract, we run orders in the wind and rain, but we are very unsure and insecure." A rider said.

  According to Han Bing, Meituan takeout in the central area of Gaocheng District was contracted to this outsourcing company. They had a total of 40 or 50 riders here, most of whom were full-time delivery guys, and there were also a few part-time workers. In late September, the company came up with a contract and asked all riders to sign it as soon as possible, but everyone had opinions on several items of the contract, but if they didn’t sign it, the result was dismissal.

  First of all, everyone has an opinion on the paragraph at the beginning of this labor contract. In the contract, the company is Party A, and the delivery brother is Party B. It states that "both parties A and B have reached an equal agreement and voluntarily sign this labor contract, and jointly abide by the terms listed." Mr. Rider Wu said that before the contract was sent to everyone, no one knew about it, let alone the contents of the contract, let alone equal consensus. If you don’t sign it, you will be fired, so in order to make a living, everyone has no choice but to sign it.

  Secondly, the contract requires a lot of riders. In terms of the duration of the labor contract, although it is signed for 6 months, the contract states: "Party A can terminate the labor relationship with Party B in advance according to business needs and Party B’s performance." Some riders said bluntly: "What is the difference between signing such a contract and not signing it? The company can terminate the labor relationship at any time according to the situation, so what guarantee do we have?"

  The contract also includes the following clause: "Party A will insure Party B with employer liability insurance and commercial insurance during the contract period." It seems to protect the riders’ rights and interests, but the riders said that the company deducts 45 yuan per month from their wages, saying that the unit will pay another part of the money, and then buy insurance for everyone. But the riders said that they still do not know what insurance is on, and have never seen an insurance contract, let alone signed an insurance contract.

  [Helpless]

  The injury has not healed, and some rider accounts have been cancelled by the company

  The terms of the contract made many riders feel insecure, but the company kept urging everyone to sign, but most of them signed. But Han Bing and the other two riders had their rider accounts cancelled because they didn’t sign, so they couldn’t take orders and were fired by the company.

  The accounts of the riders were cancelled by Han Bing and Mr. Hou, but Han Bing fell to avoid other trams at the start of construction in early September, and his left hand was pressed on the broken glass on the ground and sewed. During this time, Han Bing has been recuperating and recovering. "On October 1, I went to a meeting as usual and learned about the signing of the contract. At that time, I told the unit that my hand still needs to be raised for two days. I will take the contract back to take a look first, and bring the contract back after signing it. Who knew that after finishing in the morning, I found that my account was cancelled by the unit in the evening." Han Bing said.

  The same thing happened to Mr. Hou, a rider who was hospitalized with bronchitis. "I injured my foot in September, and then I was hospitalized due to bronchitis. I didn’t bother to sign the contract during my sick leave. It was also on October 1 that I found out that my account was cancelled by the unit." Mr. Hou said.

  In addition, the rider Mr. Du’s account was also cancelled. He rushed to the company to sign a contract, and the unit restored his account that afternoon, which saved his job.

  On the afternoon of the 8th, the company’s webmaster Liu said that the two were fired because they were not working for a long time. The fired rider Han Bing said that the next step will be to apply to the labor arbitration department for arbitration.

  Many practitioners violate traffic laws and injuries are commonplace

  The Internet is full of news of illegal riding by takeaway riders, and there are many cases of traffic accidents caused by takeaway brothers who rush to deliver meals. In order to strengthen the traffic management of electric vehicles in the express delivery industry, the Traffic Administration of the Ministry of Public Security held a video conference of the national public security traffic control department in March this year, and issued a proposal to express delivery industry organizations and enterprises to strengthen the traffic management of electric vehicles.

  Traffic violations such as red light running, retrograde driving, and speeding are common and disrupt urban traffic order. In this contract, there are special clauses to bind the delivery brother. The contract states that "Party B must abide by various national traffic regulations, laws, and rules when providing labor services. If there is any violation, Party B will bear the corresponding responsibility. (Special prohibition: not wearing a helmet, working under the influence of alcohol, driving a motorcycle without a license, retrograde driving, running a red light, rushing, speeding, etc.) "

  Regarding this clause, the takeaway brothers have the most words. When it comes to traffic violations, the takeaway brothers are very helpless. "This industry does not have many requirements for academic qualifications, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can earn 4,000 or 5,000 yuan a month, but we earn hard-earned money!" Many takeaway brothers said that it is common for practitioners to be injured in collisions, and some people have been in traffic accidents, but the degree of injuries varies.

  Self-analysis: The work system makes us insecure

  The rider Xiao Zhang had been working for more than a year, and he said that he had not only bumped into an electric car, but also hit a car for food delivery, and that time he lost 2,800 yuan. Xiao Hou had hurt his foot while delivering food, Xiao Du had recently injured his knees, Xiao Wu had just injured his leg in August, and Xiao Han had also injured his hand while recovering from a work injury due to dodging a tram…

  During the conversation, the reporter noticed that these takeaway brothers were injured because of the fast speed of the car during the delivery or the illegal riding in order to take a shortcut. Why must the delivery of takeout be speeding, retrograde or even running a red light? According to these riders, they have to run 500 orders a month to get a basic salary, and they can get 4 yuan for each order. Generally speaking, from 11:00 to 2:00 pm every day, and from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm are the takeout peak, but these two periods are also the traffic peak. There are many cars on the road, and the signal light time is longer. Moreover, the order is more concentrated. " Take noon as an example, we send orders electronically, and the positions of the orders sent are different. Some orders have to run more than 4 kilometers, and often three or four orders are sent at the same time. "Xiao Han said that the company stipulates that the delivery time is within 30 minutes. If three orders are sent at the same time, all three orders must be delivered within half an hour. The food is picked up at different locations, and some people have to wait for a while to arrive at the restaurant. The three orders plus the three orders must be completed within half an hour. If there is a customer complaint after the time limit, 500 yuan will be deducted if the complaint is successful, so the time is very tight, and we have no choice but to ride quickly. Wait for less red lights or take shortcuts on the road.

  According to the riders, the company often let everyone solve the accident by themselves, and even pay for it themselves. Although there are many injuries, if you are not hospitalized, you will rarely get insurance compensation. "So we usually endure minor injuries." These delivery guys said that from 6:30 in the morning to midnight, they can be seen on the streets. Whether it is windy, rainy or snowy, they cannot ask for leave in special weather. On several rainy days this summer, the delivery guys walked through tens of centimeters of water in the street to deliver food in the rain. Afterwards, many delivery guys’ trams broke down and everyone had to repair them at their own expense. These riders hope to be understood by everyone, and they look forward to more perfect rules and regulations for the delivery industry, so that the industry can be healthy, standardized and sustainable.

State Regulation for Market Regulation: 25% Power Bank Spot Check Quality Unqualified

Mobile power banks are also called power banks. Due to their small size and easy portability, they have solved the problem of charging mobile phones and other electronic products anytime and anywhere. In recent years, sales have been very impressive. The latest national supervision and spot inspection results of mobile power supplies released by the State Regulation for Market Regulation show that a quarter of the products in the spot inspection failed, and the problems found were mainly due to various hidden dangers such as leakage and fire.

25% of the mobile power supply quality failed the national supervision and random inspection

Miao Yuchen, Director of the Product Spot Inspection Department of the Quality Supervision Department of the State Administration for Market Regulation: This time, 108 batches of mobile power supply products produced by 107 enterprises in 9 provinces (cities) were randomly checked, and 27 batches of products were found to be unqualified, and the unqualified discovery rate was 25%. The inspection focused on 16 items such as the conversion efficiency, heat generation requirements, and radio disturbance of the products. After inspection, the unqualified items were concentrated on 5 items: conversion efficiency, effective output capacity at room temperature, heat abuse, overcharging, and radio disturbance.

Mobile power, also known as power bank, is a non-stationary charging product assembled from battery packs, circuits and casings. It is understood that there are more than 900 million smartphone users in our country in 2020; and according to relevant industry statistics, in 2019, our country’s mobile power output is also close to 900 million.

However, at the same time, the reporter’s investigation found that in recent years, with the increasing use of mobile power sources, fire and explosion accidents related to mobile power sources are also common in various places.

In December 2021, the mobile power supply in the home of Mr. Liu, a consumer in Guiyang, Guizhou, suddenly exploded while charging.

Consumer Mr. Liu: The power bank was charged for one night, but I forgot to unplug it when I sent my child to read the next morning. In the afternoon, it was charged and ignited.

After searching, the reporter found that on a bus in Guangzhou, the power bank in a middle school student’s schoolbag suddenly caught fire, causing thick smoke to spread throughout the carriage.

In recent years, there have been a number of mobile power fires in crowded places such as university dormitories, cabins, office buildings, and subways, threatening consumers’ personal and property safety.

Since the implementation of the national standard for mobile power supplies in 2019, the State Administration for Market Regulation has conducted national supervision and spot checks on such products for three consecutive years.

Pang Yao, Deputy Director of the Electronic and Electrical Products Testing Center of Beijing Quality Inspection InstituteFirst of all, national supervision and spot checks must place greater emphasis on safety items, because safety items involve consumers’ personal health and property safety.

The testing engineer told the reporter that if the mobile power supply safety project fails, it indicates that the product is at risk of overheating, fire, explosion, etc., and there are serious safety hazards.

8 batches of overcharging fail the test, which can cause fire and explosion

The reporter learned that it generally takes a few hours or even longer for the power bank to be fully charged. If you forget to unplug the power supply, you may even charge it all day and night. This situation is called overcharging. This requires that the internal quality of the power bank must be reliable, so as not to have safety hazards such as fire and explosion in the overcharged state. The State Administration of Market Supervision found that 8 batches of mobile power supplies failed the overcharging test.

During the investigation, the reporter learned that the mobile power supplies currently sold on the market are generally not equipped with adapters. Consumers mostly use adapters from other electronic products when charging the mobile power supply. The testing engineer told the reporter that if the adapter does not match the current parameters of the mobile power supply, the internal circuit of the long-term charging mobile power supply may be damaged. This requires that the internal battery pack of the mobile power supply is of reliable quality. In the case of failure of the protection circuit, it can still work normally without causing safety hazards to consumers. Overcharging items are a key safety indicator for testing the quality of the internal battery pack of a mobile power supply.

Beijing Quality Inspection Institute, Electronic and Electrical Products Testing Center, Yang Jiaju: The overcharging project is to assess whether there is a risk of fire or explosion when the internal battery is continuously charged with overvoltage and overcurrent when the protection function of the mobile power supply fails. A total of 8 batches of mobile power overcharging projects were unqualified in this national pumping. Failure to overcharge may lead to fire and explosion in the mobile power supply, threatening the safety of consumers’ personal and property.

During the over-charging test, eight batches of mobile power supplies were judged to be unqualified, and the unqualified products were produced by companies such as Shenzhen Harman Technology Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Baojia Energy Co., Ltd., and Shenzhen Yimi Technology Co., Ltd.

9 batches of hot abuse failed the test, and there are hidden dangers such as explosion

The reporter noticed that this time, 9 batches of mobile power supplies that failed the 15 batches of safety projects were unqualified for thermal abuse, and this project was also the project with the most unqualified products.

In the testing laboratory, the reporter saw that the inspectors first disassembled the battery pack inside the mobile power supply, and then put it into the test chamber. When the temperature reached 130 degrees Celsius, the battery was kept at a constant temperature for 30 minutes. During the process, the battery did not catch fire or explode, and the heat abuse items were qualified.

The battery of this mobile power bank began to bulge 6 minutes after the start of the test, began to smoke 20 minutes later, and then the battery caught fire and exploded. The huge airflow generated by the explosion could be seen exploding the ventilation equipment of the test chamber.

Beijing Quality Inspection Institute, Electronic and Electrical Products Testing Center, Yang JiajuThe thermal abuse project assesses the ability of the internal battery of the mobile power supply to withstand high temperature. If the mobile power supply encounters a high temperature environment during use, it may cause a fire and explosion, which poses certain safety hazards. For example, the temperature in the car will be particularly high in summer. If the mobile power supply is kept in the car, its environment is a high temperature environment.

A total of 9 batches of mobile power supplies, including this batch of products, caught fire or exploded during the thermal abuse test, and were judged to be unqualified. The nominal production units of the unqualified products were Shenzhen Fushun Cheng Technology Co., Ltd., Dongguan Beisest New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Shisailai Technology Co., Ltd., and other 9 enterprises.

9 batches of virtual standard capacity cannot meet the charging requirements

During the investigation, the reporter learned that mobile power supplies are generally marked with "rated capacity" to indicate how much power the product can provide for electronic products such as mobile phones. This time, the national pumping found that some mobile power supplies have quality problems with false rated capacity.

The rated capacity claimed by the manufacturer of this product is 4000 mAh, and the measured output capacity is 2160 mAh, which is only more than half of the nominal value. It is the most serious product with the rated capacity false standard found in this national pumping.

Qi Rui, Electronic and Electrical Products Testing Center, Beijing Quality Inspection InstituteIn layman’s terms, the higher the effective output capacity of a product at room temperature, the more it can charge electronic devices such as mobile phones. If you use this mobile power supply to charge a mobile phone with a battery capacity of 4,000 mAh, the mobile power supply may run out of power before the mobile phone is fully charged.

The testing engineer told reporters that, in general, the larger the rated capacity of the mobile power supply, the more expensive the price will be. If the enterprise falsely labels the capacity, consumers will spend more money to buy products that do not live up to their name, and their economic benefits will also be damaged.

Some of these products are deliberately falsified by the manufacturer in order to raise the selling price, and some products are actually labeled on the outer packaging as the capacity of the internal battery cell, not the actual output capacity. Some enterprises with low manufacturing level are unwilling to indicate the true rated capacity due to low conversion efficiency.

Pang Yao, Deputy Director of the Electronic and Electrical Products Testing Center of Beijing Quality Inspection Institute: Now there are some products that do not have a rated capacity. It is marked with capacity or battery capacity. It is not ruled out that these refer to the capacity of the battery or battery pack, not the capacity that the mobile power supply can output externally. If the nominal is battery capacity, the output (capacity) of the mobile power supply will definitely not meet the nominal capacity requirements.

After testing, 9 batches of mobile power supplies failed to meet the requirements for their effective output capacity at room temperature. They were mobile power supplies produced by nominal production units such as Di Fu Le Bio (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., Guangzhou Jianghai Technology Co., Ltd., and Shenzhen Shi Sailai Technology Co., Ltd.

NIO "sell a loss 110,000", NIO has a future?

Recently, NIO disclosed its financial report for 2022. The NIO Xiaopeng ideal, which has always been compared by everyone, is inevitably used by the industry for financial competition. However, unexpectedly, NIO, which has always been the big brother in the new car manufacturing forces, has the highest revenue but more losses. In comparison, Xiaopeng and the ideal gross margin are slightly better.

Simply put, NIO lost 14.437 billion in 2022, an increase of 259.4% year-on-year; if calculated by the delivery volume of 122,486 vehicles last year, NIO will lose 117,800 yuan on average for every car sold. And you can also see that in the fourth quarter of last year, NIO’s gross profit margin fell to 3.9%, and the annual gross profit margin was only 10.4%. This data compares to the ideal 20% to know how low it is. In this case, does NIO have a future?

From its establishment in November 2014 to March 2023, NIO has experienced eight years. As the most powerful and reputable new energy vehicle company among many new car-making forces, Li Bin, the founder of NIO, is the founder of Yiche, the first overseas listed automotive Internet company in China. Before going public in 2018, NIO had received more than 2 billion US dollars in financing, and investors included Tencent, JD.com, Hillhouse, Hopu and other first-class institutions. In 2018, NIO successfully went public in the United States, with a financing scale of up to 960 million US dollars, making it the third largest financing scale among Chinese companies that went public in the United States that year. Although it encountered a capital chain crisis for more than a year after listing, and there was news of bankruptcy, NIO finally got 7 billion strategic investment through the assistance of Hefei state-owned assets, and got through the difficulties without danger.

First of all, NIO’s substation is one of the important factors of its loss. In the early days of NIO’s establishment, its substation model was regarded by many as its unique selling point, but now, this model has become a burden. It is reported that NIO currently has more than 140 substation, and each substation costs more than 10 million yuan to build. Although this has improved the user experience and brand value, NIO needs to bear huge pressure.

Secondly, as cost growth far outpaced revenue growth, NIO’s gross margin fell sharply. The higher the gross margin, the stronger the profitability and competitive advantage of the company’s products. And NIO’s automotive gross margin suddenly fell from 20.9% to 6.8% in the fourth quarter of 2022, which led to a loss. If we ask the reason for the low gross margin, we can find that the reasons are inventory reserves, accelerated depreciation of production equipment, loss of purchase commitments, and rising battery costs.

In addition to profit pressure, the other end of the deficit isR & DCost. In 2022, NIO’s R & D expenses were 10.836 billion yuan, an increase of 136.0% year-on-year.At the same time, selling, general and administrative expenses were 10.537 billion yuan, an increase of 53.2% year-on-year. From this point of view, R & D expenses almost doubled, which was the main reason for the increase in expenses, while high sales, general expenses and administrative expenses also contributed to the loss.

Jackie Chan exposes his childhood unbearable past, saying he will not leave a legacy to Jaycee Chan

  Movie Network News(Photo/Qian Jia’s memoir/Diao Zongrui) On July 17, Jackie Chan, who was filming "Kung Fu Dream" in Beijing, showed up at the China Conservatory of Music with members of Seven Xiaofu to participate in the summer internship activities of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan college students. On that day, Jackie Chan, who had not returned to campus for a long time, was very interested. Not only did he answer the questions of the students in the audience carefully, but he also exposed his poignant past and bluntly stated that his dying estate would be donated to charity and would not leave his son Jaycee Chan’s name.

Exposing that he was in the underworld as a child, he denounced unscrupulous media habits


  In conversations with students, Jackie Chan did not shy away from his childhood misdeeds, and even called himself a very bad child. According to him, he had been fighting with Hong Jinbao since he was a child, and he did not read a good book. And the surrounding environment is quite complicated. "I am surrounded by the underworld, and they also asked me to participate in the sale of white powder." However, when it comes to choosing, Jackie Chan said that he always remembers his father’s teaching to him, "He told me not to join the underworld, not to take drugs, and not to gamble on Pai Gow." For the first two Jackie Chan kept in mind, but about "not to gamble on Pai Gow", he laughed and said that he was very puzzled at the beginning. Later, the experience of losing all my wealth overnight woke him up like a dream. Jackie Chan said he now says the same to Jaycee Chan, "except for these three, everything else can be done".


  "I was really bad when I was young, so bad that I didn’t want to talk about it," he says, smiling about the shyness of the past. However, he also expresses his doubts about the professionalism of today’s media. "Now some media reporters listen to what you say. If you say the wrong thing, you will definitely be written to death. If the previous reporters thought that what we said and did was wrong, they would teach us that some things should not be said." In addition, Jackie Chan is also very dissatisfied with the behavior of some photojournalists who specialize in taking dew point photos.


Extras are also actors who "play dead" to rise to the top


  As an extra actor, Stephen Chow was criticized by the director for his portrayal of a mischievous and immortal priest in "The King of Comedy", and then he got a kiss from Jackie Chan, a master of "playing dead". In fact, this scene is not fabricated, it is indeed Jackie Chan’s own personal experience. Speaking of his past when he first entered the martial arts industry, Jackie Chan said, "It is because of’good death ‘that he has a chance to rise to power." In Jackie Chan’s view, no matter what a person does, as long as he doesn’t give up, he will always be appreciated by others and get a chance, even if sweeping the street is no exception in his eyes. When he was an extra, he also pursued perfection. And it is this attitude of doing things that has created Wu Zhi, the youngest in the history of Hong Kong film, and established his status as an international superstar in the Chinese film industry.


He admitted that he would donate all his property on his deathbed and would not leave his name to Jaycee Chan


  As an international superstar, Jackie Chan has done countless acts of kindness around the world. When it comes to the original intention of doing these things, he said that when he was 20 years old, he took 1 million out shopping. "At that time, he was like a nouveau riche. He bought a lot of things, and now the warehouse is full of waste. Everyone will think that I have helped others by doing charity. In fact, charity has taught me to be a person, and it has made me understand a lot of reasons and want to help more people."


  Jackie Chan said he hoped that his bank account would be zero on the day of his death, and he did not want to see Jaycee and his wife or more people competing for inheritance.

  Aika Auto: Mr. Wang, what new cars and new technologies did the brand bring to the Shanghai Auto Show?

  Wang Bo:Geely is in Hall 5.1 of this Shanghai Auto Show, bringing the core products of the Galaxy L7, which is the first SUV of the Geely brand’s mid-to-high-end new energy series – the Galaxy series. The prototype car of the Galaxy series "Galaxy Light" is also on display. In addition, there are geometric series such as Panda mini and Geometric G6/M6, (|) Hi · P, (|) Hi · F, (|) Hi · P and other hybrid products and (|). At the Geely booth press conference this morning, we released the Galaxy L7 Smart Love cockpit system to bring users more intelligent and scene-based experience. This is the situation of Geely’s booth at this Shanghai Auto Show.

  Aika Auto: Bank L7 made its debut and appearance at the auto show as a new model. What role does the Galaxy series play? Product features?

  Wang Bo:The Galaxy series is a mid-to-high-end new energy series released by Geely brand in February this year. At present, Geely Automobile is divided into three series. The Galaxy series just mentioned focuses on the high-value new energy market above the 150,000. Geometry series is mainly an entry-level cost-effective new energy vehicle, mainly within 150,000. The original Geely series, called the Jixing series, is mainly in the current fuel vehicle market to seize share.

  As the first model of the Galaxy series, the mission of the Galaxy L7 is to be the first choice for Chinese family users to travel intelligently, and to break into the first camp of China’s A-class smart electric hybrid SUV. This model will be delivered in the second quarter. This morning, we released the Smart Love cockpit, and also released the L7 Super Experience Officer plan. From the users who have ordered nationwide, 100 people will be selected to test drive this model first. Of course, in addition to experiencing the product power, we will also give us more rationalization suggestions. We will apply these suggestions to the later product upgrades and improvements, so as to make this car a model without shortcomings in the smart electric hybrid market.

  Aika Auto: Is it a rational co-creation based on experience?

  Wang Bo:Yes, Geely has always been committed to co-creation with users. Before today, many of our models were constantly involved in the research and development process, such as vehicle styling design, body color, interior seat fabric, and even the interface design of the car-machine system. Open the door and build a car, this has always been Geely’s philosophy.

  Aika Automobile: The current growth rate of new energy is relatively rapid, but considering the domestic and global markets, new energy and fuel vehicles will develop simultaneously in a short period of time. How should Geely respond?

  Wang Bo:I think the point I just talked about is also one of the focuses of the industry at present. We call it the Chinese auto market and even the global auto market. There are two certainties. One certainty is that new energy is growing rapidly, especially in the first quarter of the Chinese auto market, where the proportion of new energy is close to 30%. The other certainty is that the fuel vehicle market still has a relatively large volume. In the case of coexistence of the two for a long time, Geely Automobile has also adapted and embraced changes, making some optimizations and adjustments to its organizational structure.

  This year, we established three business divisions, Galaxy Division and Geometry Division, which mainly seize the opportunity of rapid development of new energy and realize the rapid transformation of enterprises to new ones. In March this year, our new energy sales accounted for more than 25%. Jixing Division is responsible for the fuel vehicle market and strives to achieve the ultimate share in the Chinese automobile fuel vehicle market. Geely has always been highly competitive in the fuel vehicle field, and our goal has always been to be the first in China’s brand fuel vehicles.

  Aika Automobile: 2023 is Geely’s product year and the year of accelerated new energy transformation. What are the plans for the overall product layout?

  Wang Bo:The first model of the Galaxy series just mentioned, L7, will be mass-produced and delivered in the second quarter. The second model, L6, which is a sedan, will be delivered to users in the third quarter, and a pure electric model E8 will be delivered in the fourth quarter. In addition, Geely’s fuel vehicles also have new products, and a new model will be released at the end of this month (|) COOL. This model has a 2.7-meter wheelbase and is also the most mainstream A-class SUV. Our positioning is to create the strongest SUV model in the 100,000 class. He will form a product matrix with Boyue L to strengthen Geely’s share in the A-class SUV market. In addition, our China Star high-end series and Shuangbin will have new annual models released and launched one after another.

  Aika Automobile: Everyone says that the second half of new energy is intelligent. Geely launched the Geely 2025 strategy in 2021, so now it has also made a series of layouts. What is the progress of Geely’s intelligent field so far? What are the results?

  Wang Bo:After the release of Geely’s Smart 2025 strategy, it has been advancing steadily and orderly according to the overall strategy. Geely Automobile has always maintained strategic resolve, and intelligent results are gradually emerging. The Galaxy L7 Smart Love cockpit we just talked about this morning is actually part of Smart Geely 2025. In addition, in terms of chips, the "No. 1" self-developed chip has been mass-produced in March, and Geely’s self-developed chip will also be put on the brand 08 model for the first time. In addition, the Xingrui Smart Computing Center has been launched in February. It is the smart computing center with the largest scale of self-built equipment, leading comprehensive computing power, the most comprehensive business coverage, the strongest intelligent support capacity, and high security level among domestic car companies. The implementation of this series of achievements will be gradually applied to Geely’s new models.

  AIKA: Okay, thank you.

China Evergrande’s hearing has been postponed again

On December 4, according to Hong Kong media reports, the liquidation case of China Evergrande was tried again in the Hong Kong High Court today. After the petitioner and Evergrande exchanged and deliberated, the judge heard the arguments and postponed the liquidation hearing of China Evergrande again until January 29, 2024.

In fact, this is the seventh time that Hengda has been delayed by creditors. Industry insiders believe that this also reflects the cautious handling of the liquidation and bankruptcy of the largest real estate company in the Hong Kong capital markets by the Hong Kong judiciary.

On the morning of December 4, China Evergrande issued a clarification announcement saying that the company noticed that an institution published a report on December 1, 2023 that the company had never made a profit. The report has no actual basis, and the company will further clarify the content of the report later. Holders of the company’s securities and potential investors should exercise caution when buying and selling securities.

The move follows a report by GMT Research, a short-seller, that China Evergrande’s delayed 2021 annual report clearly reflects the company’s apparent overstatement of revenue and earnings, which is likely to continue for many years. Evergrande has either fundamental problems or has never made a profit.
